Kodo beasts are a subspecies of kodo. Giant grey reptilian quadrupeds, the kodo beasts wander the plains in thunderous herds. They graze primarily on quick-growing grasses, but will eat the leaves of shrubs and trees they encounter. Like many herd animals, kodo beast groups are composed of mothers and young, led by a single powerful male or female. A few younger males may be present, but they are eventually driven out to establish their own herds. Because kodo beasts are the primary type of kodo, they are often simply called "kodos" (and kodos may be called kodo beasts).
